Everybody is writing the Bulls off. Can they come back and give the Heat a battle? It looks like the Bulls are fine when Bogans is off the court and Brewer is in.
- In 50 minutes with Deng and Rose(the Bulls two top players in) and Bogans in Bulls are -15 points and play 3 points worse than avg. per game (adjusted for strength of players faced)
- With Deng and Rose and Brewer in and Bogans out in 32 minutes Bulls are +15 points and have played at +29 level.
- Overall with Brewer in and Bogans out Bulls are +22 points in 60 minutes and have played at +29 level.
It appears the only shot the Bulls have is more Brewer and less Bogans.
Askik and Brewer in 33 minutes +15 points and +20 rating. Even in the two losses with these two on court Bulls outscored Heat in both losses.
[...] Do the Bulls still have a shot?: Mathletics’ Wayne Winston thinks so, as long as they heed +/- and play Ronnie Brewer over Keith Bogans. [...]
